Help with disease?

13 years ago

Are my tomatos suffering from early blight? I've started dousing the leaves with a baking soda+water spray but is it too late already? They were doing SOOO well until two days ago. I go out there and all the bottom leaves were all yellow. One of the plant already has a dozen 1-inch diameter yellow jubilee tomats! Its my first time growing anything so I'm super excited and yet anxious now! I've tried removing as many leaves as I dare but I'm scared to really go all out since the fruits will need the leaves to make energy for the plant, right? I'm such a city girl so I need all the help I can get. THanks guys!

Oh dear. So all I can do is remove/cut off all infected leaves - hope there is enough healthy leaves left so the plants survives? and continue the baking soda+water treatment?

I am using 5-gallon bucket self-watering containers so they are already off of the ground quite a bit. I wonder if my 'florida weave' was too "tight" and as a result, with all the rain we've been getting here in NY, didn't allow enough air circulation to dry out. :(
